India’s leading professional audio, lighting and truss rental Company Rich Audio delivered superior audio quality for recently staged “I Have a Dream” concert held at the Dhirubhai Ambani International School, Mumbai. Rich Audio was chosen amongst other well-known rental companies to provide complete system solution which comprised of the EAW KF760 line array, 38 Sennheiser wireless microphones, four Sennheiser in-ear monitors and complete communication systems comprising of a dozen walky talkies and multi channel intercom system.

Rich Audio has been working with theatrical productions for many years. It was only a matter of putting the right techniques that were learnt over the years and the right products to use. The event was produced and directed by Raell Padamsee’s ACE Production. Through various discussions with the ACE Productions team, Rich Audio’s Senior Engineer Lee Braganza understood their requirements of multiple scenes and dialogue deliveries, thus creating a need for a large quantity of wireless microphones. Not only was the cast of the concert a whooping 1000 children, there were dialogue deliveries within 30 seconds of each scene change, thus not leaving even the slightest space for error. After perfect timing and scene management with respect to act and use of microphones, Lee Braganza decided to use a total of 34 Sennheiser head-worn wireless microphones, four handheld wireless microphones and four in-ear monitors for the event.

"For FOH, we used the Sound-Craft MH-2 audio mixing console for main system mix and the EAW KF 760 line array system controlled by the EAW UX8800 system processor and powered by crown Macro-Tech I amplifiers. The EAW KF760 system like always delivers even coverage and excellent sound quality through out the audience area," added Zura Braganza.

Rich Audio executed the show with outstanding precision, thanks to the quick and accurate management by FOH engineer Lee Braganza, who with his team of engineers Constansio D’souza and Amnish Lohire controlled 42 wireless devices and multiple change overs at the same time without any glitches. Every performer’s dialogue was clearly audible even at the last row, thus making the event a grand experience for audience and crew. The event was a running success with compliments from all sides of the ground comprising of the audience, production crew and the Ambani’s.
